Seth met a celebrity!

But before I get to that ... I have a backlog of pictures I haven't posted.

Abby and Emma at Girl Scouts.

I came home last weekend to find that Seth and the kids and turned our living room into a fort. They pushed the couches together and draped blankets over them so the kids could hide out underneath with a flash light. It was cute. The kids were thrilled.

I mentioned cheerleading in my last post...

And finally....Saturday night, Seth and I and some friends (Kevin, Abby, Steve, Kelly, Kristian, Jenny, Brian and Dan) went to see a jazz musician named Charlie Hunter (if you like jazz/blues, look him up on iTunes). Seth is a big fan of his and was the reason why we were all going to see him play. Afterward, Charlie Hunter was signing autographs and shaking hands so I embarrassed Seth by telling Charlie that Seth loved him and brought eight of his friends to see him and that they should get their picture taken together. Seth gave me the "you should die now" look, but now he has a picture with him! Kind of cool.

It was a great show. My only complaint is that it was too short - only 70 minutes. For $30, it should have lasted longer.


Before the show, we went to a place called Reggie's Backstage right across from The Fox Theater, which was a nice place to grab a drink. Afterward, we went to JP's downtown, a sports bar. It was fun times all round.


Looks like we're having a few people over for Super Bowl. Since the Patriots aren't in it this year, Seth felt he could stomach having people over. He is way too stressed out when they are in the Super Bowl to be able to tolerate being a host. I'm totally a bandwagoner on the Cardinals, rooting for Kurt Warner. He's such a good person and still does so much for the city of St. Louis that you can't help but root for him. Plus it's not that much of a stretch since the football Cardinals were in St. Louis when I was a kid.


A quick weight loss update, I've now lost a total of nine pounds in four weeks. At least it's moving in the right direction.


Other than planning for the Super Bowl, it should be a quiet week. We're expecting snow for the next two to three days. Hopefully that doesn't wreak too much havoc on things. Abby has cheerleading on Thursday and a birthday party Saturday for her friend Sami (my friend Kathy's daughter). Have a good week!
